< Jeremias 30 >
1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN:
The word which came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh, saying: —
2 Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Skriv alle de Ord, jeg har talet til dig, op i en Bog.
Thus, speaketh Yahweh, God of Israel, saying, —Write thee all the words which I have spoken unto thee in a scroll;
3 Thi se, Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da jeg vender mit Folk Israels og Judas Skæbne, siger HERREN, og fører dem hjem til det Land, jeg gav deres Fædre, og de skal tage det i Eje.
For lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, when I will turn the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, Saith Yahweh, —and will bring them back into the land which I gave to their fathers that they might possess it.
4 Dette er de Ord, HERREN talede til Israel og Juda.
Now, these, are the words which Yahweh hath spoken against Israel and against Judah:
5 Saa siger HERREN: Vi hørte et Udbrud af Skræk, af Rædsel og Ufred;
Yea, thus, saith Yahweh, A voice of trembling, have we heard, Dread and not welfare!
6 spørg og se dog til, om en Mand kan føde! Hvi ser jeg da alle Mænd med Haand paa Hofte som Kvinde i Barnsnød og alle Aasyn blegne?
Ask, I pray you, and see, whether a male travaileth with child! Why have I seen Every man with his hands upon his loins like a woman in travail, and Every face turned into ghastliness?
7 Thi stor er denne Dag, den er uden Lige, en Trængselstid for Jakob, men fra den skal han frelses.
Alas! for, great, is that day, so that none is like it, —Yea, a time of anguish it is for Jacob, But out of it, shall he be saved.
8 Paa hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, vil jeg sønderbryde deres Aag og tage det af deres Hals og sprænge deres Baand, og de skal ikke mere trælle for fremmede.
And it shall come to pass in that day, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, That I will break his yoke from off thy neck, And thy bonds, will I tear off, —And foreigners shall use him as a slave no more;
9 De skal tjene HERREN deres Gud og David, deres Konge, som jeg vil oprejse dem.
But they shall serve Yahweh their God, —and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10 Frygt derfor ikke, min Tjener Jakob, lyder det fra HERREN, og vær ikke bange, Israel; thi se, jeg frelser dig fra det fjerne og dit Afkom fra deres Fangenskabs Land; og Jakob skal vende hjem og bo roligt og trygt, og ingen skal forfærde ham.
Thou therefore do not fear O my Servant Jacob Urgeth Yahweh, Neither be thou dismayed, O Israel, For behold me! saving thee from afar And thy seed out of the land of their captivity, —Then shall Jacob return, and rest and be quiet, And there shall be none to make him afraid;
11 Thi jeg er med dig, lyder det fra HERREN, for at frelse dig; thi jeg vil tilintetgøre alle de Folk, blandt hvilke jeg har spredt dig, men dig vil jeg ikke tilintetgøre; jeg vil tugte dig med Maade, ikke lade dig helt ustraffet.
For with thee, am, I, Declareth Yahweh To save thee, —Though I make an end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, Yet will I not of thee, make an end, But will chastise thee in measure, not holding thee, guiltless!
12 Thi saa siger HERREN: Ulægeligt er dit Brud, dit Saar er svart.
For Thus, saith Yahweh—incurable is thine injury, —Grievous is thy wound:
13 Ingen fører din Sag. For din Byld er ingen Lægedom, for dig ingen Helse.
There is none to plead thy cause for binding thee up, —Healing bandages, hast thou none:
14 Alle dine Venner har glemt dig, søger dig ikke, thi med Fjendeslag slog jeg dig, med skaanselsløs Straf, fordi din Brøde var stor, dine Synder mange.
All thy lovers, have forgotten thee, Thyself, do they not seek, —For With the wounding of an enemy, have I wounded thee With the correction of one who is cruel, Because of the abounding of thine iniquity, Because numerous have been thy sins.
15 Hvi skriger du over dit Brud, er dit Saar ulægeligt? Fordi din Brøde var stor, dine Synder mange, gjorde jeg dette imod dig.
Why shouldst thou make outcry over thine injury, Incurable is thy pain? Because of the abounding of thine iniquity, [Because] numerous have been thy sins Have I done these things unto thee.
16 Derfor skal alle, som fortærer dig, fortæres, alle dine Fjender, alle skal de vandre i Fangenskab; de, der plyndrer dig, skal plyndres, til Ran gør jeg alle dine Ransmænd.
Therefore, all who devour thee, shall be devoured, And, all thine adversaries—all of them, into captivity, shall depart, —So shall they who plundered thee, be plundered, And all who preyed upon thee, will I deliver up as a prey.
17 Thi jeg heler dig, læger dine Saar, saa lyder det fra HERREN; du kaldtes jo, Zion, »den bortstødte, som ingen søger.«
For I will put a bandage upon thee, And from thy wounds, will I heal thee Declareth Yahweh, —Because An outcast, they called thee, ‘Tis, Zion! who hath none to ask for her welfare,
18 Saa siger HERREN: Se, jeg vender Jakobs Skæbne, forbarmer mig over hans Boliger, Byen skal bygges paa sin Høj, Paladset staa, hvor det stod.
Thus, saith Yahweh—Behold me! bringing back the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And on his habitations, will I have compassion, —So shall the city be built, upon her own mound, And the citadel, upon its own site, shall remain:
19 Fra dem skal Lovsang lyde og legendes Raab; de bliver ej færre, jeg gør dem mange; de bliver ej ringe, jeg giver dem Hæder.
So shall there proceed from them thanksgiving, and The sound of them who make merry, —And I will multiply them, and they shall not become few, And will make them honourable, and they shall not be despised:
20 Hans Sønner skal blive som fordum, hans Menighed staa fast for mit Aasyn. Jeg hjemsøger alle, som trykker ham.
And, his sons, shall come to be as aforetime, And, his assembly, before me, shall continue, —And I will bring punishment on all his oppressors;
21 Hans Fyrste stammer fra ham selv, hans Hersker gaar frem af hans Midte. Jeg lader ham komme mig nær, han skal nærme sig mig; thi hvem ellers sætter Livet i Vove ved at nærme sig mig? lyder det fra HERREN.
And, his illustrious one, shall spring, from himself, And his ruler, from his own midst, shall proceed, And I will bring him near and he shall approach unto me, —For who is there that hath pledged his own heart to approach unto me? Demandeth Yahweh:
22 I skal være mit Folk, og jeg vil være eders Gud.
So shall ye become my people; And, I, will become your God.
23 Se, HERRENS Stormvejr, Vreden er brudt løs, et hvirvlende Stormvejr; det hvirvler hen over de gudløses Hoved.
Lo! the tempest of Yahweh! Indignation, hath come forth, A tempest rolling itself upward, —Upon the head of the lawless ones, shall it hurl itself down!
24 HERRENS glødende Vrede lægger sig ikke, før han har udført og fuldbyrdet sit Hjertes Tanker; i de sidste Dage skal I forstaa det.
The fierceness of the anger of Yahweh will not turn back, Until he hath executed nor Until he hath established The purposes of his heart, —In the afterpart of the days, shall ye understand it.
